Answer: C. shift right/ out because tobacco production will become profitable.
Explanation:
Subsidies reduce the cost of using something because the government would sponsor it. The cost of farming tobacco will therefore reduce in this instance. Tobacco companies will therefore incur less cost to acquire tobacco and so will start making more profit.
This will encourage other firms to come into the tobacco market as time goes on. As more firms enter, there will be a larger supply of tobacco. The supply curve will then shift right to depict this.
I read in a book about Netflix that Reed Hastings was prompted to start Netflix when he had a large overdue (Around $40 in fees) for a DVD.
Answer: a. $5.50
b. $6.1
c. $3,500,000
Explanation:
a. From the question, we are informed that Hawar International is a shipping firm with a current share price of $5.50 and 10 million shares outstanding and that Hawar announces plans to lower its corporate taxes by borrowing $20 million and repurchasing shares.
We are informed that Hawar announces plans to lower its corporate taxes by borrowing $20 million and repurchasing shares. This is a transaction and therefore, the value if the share won't be changed. So, the value for the share will still be $5.50.
b. If the only imperfection is corporate tax rate of 30%, the share price after this announcement will be:
= [30% × (20million/10million)] + $5.50
= [0.3 × 2] + $5.50
= $0.6 + $5.50
= $6.1
Therefore, the share price be after this announcement will be $6.1.
c. If the share price rises to $5.75 after this announcement, the PV of financial distress costs Hawar will incur as the result of this new debt will be:
= ($6.1 - $5.75) × 10,000,000
= $0.35 × 10,000,000
= $3,500,000
<span>Price elasticity of demand is
-1.25 = Ed</span>
Price elasticity of supply =
Es
Share of tax by consumers =
0.80 = Es / (Ed + Es) = Es / Es + 1.25
0.8 Es + 1 = Es
1 / 0.2 = Es = 5
Therefore, the price elasticity of supply is 5

Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Total fixed costs is
= depreciation + advertising + insurance
= 1224 + 153 + 1683
= $3060 per month
Now
Total variable cost per unit
= weed + direct labor + fuel
= 10 + 8 + 2
= $20/ per lawn
Now
Contribution margin ratio = (sales per unit - variable cost per unit) ÷ sales per unit
= ($50 - $20) ÷ 50
= 60%
Now
Breakeven sales is
= fixed costs ÷ contribution margin ratio
= $3,060 ÷ 60%
= $5100
And,
Breakeven sales units is
= breakeven sales ÷ sales per unit
= 5100 ÷ 50
= 102 lawns
